What is it about rains?

What is it about rains that breathes life to the streets of a city? The thunderous applause of the clouds? The vibrant orchestra in the sky? What is it about rains that make people feel? Why does rain bring joy to some and sorrow to others? Isn’t rain just an expression of nature’s benevolence? Doesn’t […]

The Call

On a morning like any other, I got a call from my mother. A packed bag, a cloudy head, I hit the road; bottling hope and dread. What lies ahead? A hospital bed. Best case scenario? Borrowed time. Worst case? Words unsaid. By afternoon, dull blue skies, I saw blank eyes, and muffled cries. A […]

Loss

As a society , we’ve all become immune to the world around us. Things have been so messed up that we’ve accepted them as normal.

Everyday the paper is filled with tales of children who have barely lived, ending their own lives. But we just flip the page until something that affects us is mentioned.

Instruments

They say instruments play the music in you; Some play your tune, while the others refuse. And though each individual has a song to sing, Only handful are chosen by harps and strings. When the chosen sang tunes of life and love, The rest guffawed at their ridiculous show. For while they chanted those words […]

Take me back

Though the ticking hand has had its say, Today seems just like yesterday; One more excuse for moving on, To a morrow full of yesterdays. Oh Lords above, Take me back to the time that I forgot; Take a father to his children and a lover to his betrothed. With a blink I awake tomorrow, […]

Mr.Spaceguy

Hey Mr. Spaceguy! Take me away from this planet blue, Take me into the black , to see places old and new. Hey Mr. Spaceguy! Teach me how you fly at night, Floating in the darkness with no one to disappoint; Untethered from this crowded world, like a missing satellite , Far away from the […]
